I was thinking earlier...who the fuck did I think I was walking into La Senza as a 12-year-old!! What gave me the right to walk into a grown ass womens lingerie shop and rifle their Little Miss bras?! 'Ooo did I think I was?! Didn't help that I giggled throughout either.

I can't decide if I preferred the 90's or 00's best, I was born in 83 and so glad I was born at that time. We had the best music and TV shows.
I miss bebo and MySpace, definitely preferred them to Facebook.
I used to smoke back then and there was a ciggie vending machine in my local club.
Going out with £20, sometimes £10 in your pocket and getting shit faced.
Blue mascara.
It was either late 90s or early 00s I had some massive foam like platform sandals from miss selfridge I think, I'm 5,9' and must have looked a right tit but I loved them 😂
Did anyone else wear trouser skirts? Can't remember if they were late 90s but they were hideous!

Also I know this one is late 80s/early 90s but I loved clarkes magic steps with the secret key. I'd wear mine constantly, even in the house, drove my mum mad

I remember being around 15 sat in coffee shops pre smoking ban and pre smoking age going up with a packet of Malboro Golds thinking I was so sophisticated. Probably reading The Bell Jar and acting soo deep/pixie drewm girl. Oh the cringe.

There was an offie that would serve us but only if you put the cigarette packet in your bra once you'd bought them? Dodgy af 😳

I really loved celebrity gossip as a teen back then! I loved looking on TMZ & Perez Hilton. I enjoyed seeing what celebs had recently been arrested lol! it was usually for drunk driving or being in possession of cocaine (usually both). Paris Hilton, Nicole Richie, Lindsay Lohan and Britney Spears were always on celeb gossip blogs.

Also would read the newspaper that my dad bought but only if there was a celeb scandal 🤣 usually some glamour model who had slept with a married footballer or drug scandals! Like Kate Moss being filmed doing lines in a music studio with Pete Doherty

I know this is a thread for 00s nostalgia but is anyone getting nostalgia for the early 2010s? Not even that long ago but it seems such a different time, I watched Everything I Know About Love recently which I think is set in 2012 and it reminded me so much of my carefree twenties ... I've just ordered some 2010s magazines off Ebay too (remember £2 Glamour mags?!) 🙈

Just off the top of my head, I'm thinking Skater dresses, ombre hair, peak hipster style, gin, mustaches on everything, the rise of Instagram, aztec print dresses, avocados, secret cinema, 2012 Olympics!!
The difference un the UK from the 2012 Olympics to now is so depressing. Was such an optimistic time

Sorry if this isn't the place for this, but I made a Spotify playlist for 90s/00s dance songs. Maybe some of you might like it.

Also you couldn’t use the phone and internet at the same time :)
I remember an IT lesson in 2001 when we were taught how to look something up on Google 😆 some of us had never been on Google.com before- fair enough we were 11/12 with no devices

I had a 3310 and bought a Busted logo for it from a magazine, probably Top of the Pops. I continued to use the phone in that state (complete with obnoxious self-composed monophonic ringtones) until my first year of uni in 2009 when the battery finally conked out.

For anyone curious, Matt was obviously the fittest, followed by Charlie and then James.

Absolutely loved Jacqueline Wilson books. I used to borrow them from the school library. I must have read Bad Girls a dozen times.

Anyone remember those alien toys that everyone was convinced could somehow make a baby alien?
